I was just watching Top Gear the other day, the three hosts were trying to build a Caterham in the same time it would take the The Stig to drive 400 miles. Of course, they bumbled their way through it.

My favorite part of that segment was the bit where they realized that the Stig would have to stop for fuel, and wondered whether he'd ever done that before, and how he'd pay for it.

Cut to the Stig in line to pay for his gas at the motorway services, which he does with:

his Bank of Money charge card.

(I can't decide whether the date is supposed to imply that he was born on January 45, 1977, or the first day of 1977's 45th month. Or maybe the actual year 77. :)

Somewhere a while after the white version was introduced, someone realized that the Stig suddenly becomes comedy gold when removed from his usual setting. See also: The Stig being delivered to the Isle of Man in a crate; the Stig riding the Tube; the Stig in Blackpool.

Don't forget Stig's Spanish holiday. :) Utterly priceless.

Ah, yes, Stig in the pool. With, if I recall correctly, a cameo appearance in the background by Mrs Stig!

Logically speaking, that six digit number would be the bank's sort code and the nine digit number after would be the account number or the card number.

Here endeth the temptation to over analyze further.

It's clearly a quadruple leap year.
